This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

3.9 Right to data portability

You have the right to receive personal data which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller where the processing is based on consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means.

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time in this regard. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet established whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — with the exception of storage — only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the EU or a Member State.
